Gone Fishin'

Information

A group devoted to the Angler and the Angler at Heart.

If the topic has anything to do with fishing, this is the place to post. Tell us your fishing stories, talk about tackle old and new! What you like and what you don’t like.

Bought some new equipment and want to tell us about? We want to hear about it.

Thinking about buying a new pole and want to know it if it is worth the money? Ask up!

Do you collect fishing tackle? Show it off with pride!

Any type of angler with any skill level is welcome!

And as this is I Knife Collector, this is also a place to talk about the knives made, used and collected by anglers! We especially want to see your fishing knives -- in the tackle box, on display, or in action!

Comment by Rick Hooper on June 21, 2015 at 8:25: Bought mine early this year , both hunting and fishing went up 20% this year. Making Tn , one of highest in the southeast.

Comment by Tobias Gibson on June 21, 2015 at 6:16: Illinois does have reduced rates for seniors (over 65) . I think it is half off but would need ot check. I think after 75 it drops to $1. 16 and under are free. Indiana is more generous with its residents. Next week it will be time ot get to the non-resident Michigan license. We're going on Charter. out on the big lake.

KnifeMaker Comment by Carl Rechsteiner on June 21, 2015 at 6:00: I'm with you Charles. GA will issue a honorary lifetime to all residents that have stayed above ground long enough. Good for everything except migratory bird stamp. Trying like crazy to use it up.

Second sexiest thing in my wallet ..... first place is a pic of my Haye-Budden!

Comment by Shlomo ben Maved on June 17, 2015 at 20:05: It is a book that you want to savour but that you can't put down as well so be expecting an hour or so of chortles, guffaws and childhood wisdom beyond his years. Suddenly you'll be at the end and wishing for more, but, alas, there isn't so you'll have to buy some more of his books. Ingenious fiend that he is.

I rank him above Patrick McManus who I've also got every book that he's ever written and for me that's a really hard statement to make as I've always loved McManus's style of humour and knowledge.

He did the illustrations to a series of books by Sam Cook--also an excellent read--and he doesn't draw for just anyone.

You'll be happy and a little broke buying up all his stuff.

P.S. When I went through Eley, Minn years ago I stopped and had him sign all of his, then, editions but, alas, they all got destroyed in the house fire.

Comment by Jan Carter on June 17, 2015 at 19:46: I will have to order one of those also. Tobias, I love Red Green!!

Comment by Tobias Gibson on June 17, 2015 at 10:25: Now that the Blackhawks have won the Stanley Cup i t is time to go fishin'. And no one knows how better to move from hockey season to fishin' season than Red Green
